1:1 Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the
 saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the]
 overseers and ministers;
1:2 grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord
 Jesus Christ.
1:3 I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
1:4 constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication
 for you all with joy,
1:5 because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first
 day until now;
1:6 having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun
 in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
1:7 as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all,
 because ye have *me* in your hearts, and that both in my bonds
 and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are
 all participators in my grace.
1:8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the]
 bowels of Christ Jesus.
1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more
 in full knowledge and all intelligence,
1:10 that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more
 excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for
 Christ's day,
1:11 being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which
 [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
1:12 But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances
 in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the
 glad tidings,
1:13 so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ
 in all the praetorium and to all others;
1:14 and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord
 through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God
 fearlessly.
1:15 Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for
 good will, preach the Christ.
1:16 These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the
 defence of the glad tidings;
1:17 but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not
 purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
1:18 What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in
 pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I
 rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;
1:19 for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation,
 through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of
 Jesus Christ;
1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in
 nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now
 also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by
 death.
1:21 For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
1:22 but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth
 the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
1:23 But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure
 and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
1:24 but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your
 sakes;
1:25 and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain
 and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in
 faith;
1:26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by
 my presence again with you.
1:27 Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the
 Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent,
 I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one
 spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict
 with the faith of the glad tidings;
1:28 and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to
 them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and
 that from God;
1:29 because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only
 the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
1:30 having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now
 hear of in me.
2:1 If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation
 of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and
 compassions,
2:2 fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the
 same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
2:3 [let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory,
 but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more
 excellent than themselves;
2:4 regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of
 others also.
2:5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ
 Jesus;
2:6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an
 object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
2:7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his
 place in [the] likeness of men;
2:8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself,
 becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of
 [the] cross.
2:9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a
 name, that which is above every name,
2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
 heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],
2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God
 [the] Father's glory.
2:12 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as
 in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work
 out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
2:13 for it is God who works in you both the willing and the
 working according to [his] good pleasure.
2:14 Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
2:15 that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children
 of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation;
 among whom ye appear as lights in [the] world,
2:16 holding forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for
 me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in
 vain.
2:17 But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice
 and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in
 common with you all.
2:18 In like manner do *ye* also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
2:19 But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you
 shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
2:20 For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine
 feeling how ye get on.
2:21 For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus
 Christ.
2:22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he
 has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
2:23 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I
 shall see how it goes with me:
2:24 but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon
 come;
2:25 but I have thought it necessary to send to you
 Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier,
 but your messenger and minister to my need,
2:26 since he had a longing desire after you all, and was
 distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
2:27 for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on
 him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might
 not have sorrow upon sorrow.
2:28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing
 him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less
 sorrowful.
2:29 Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold
 such in honour;
2:30 because for the sake of the work he drew near even to
 death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in
 your ministration toward me.
3:1 For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write
 the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you
 safe.
3:2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
3:3 For *we* are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit
 of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
3:4 Though *I* have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think
 to trust in flesh, *I* rather:
3:5 as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the]
 race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews;
 as to [the] law, a Pharisee;
3:6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness
 which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
3:7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account
 of Christ, loss.
3:8 But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of
 the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on
 account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them
 to be filth, that I may gain Christ;
3:9 and that I may be found in hi
